An innovative analysis of anti-Muslim racism and empire, \u003cem\u003eIslamophobia and the Politics of Empire\u003c\/em\u003e argues that empire creates the conditions for anti-Muslim racism, which in turn sustains empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book, now updated to include the end of the Trump’s presidency, offers a clear and succinct explanation of how Islamophobia functions in the United States both as a set of coercive policies and as a body of ideas that take various forms: liberal, conservative, and rightwing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe matrix of anti-Muslim racism charts how various institutions—the media, think tanks, the foreign policy establishment, the university, the national security apparatus, and the legal sphere—produce and circulate this particular form of bigotry. Anti-Muslim racism not only has horrific consequences for people in Muslim-majority countries who become the targets of an endless War on Terror, but for Muslims and those who “look Muslim” in the West as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46849338409196,"sku":"9781788737210","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/23901143482824.jpg?v=1759041740"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/deepa-kumar.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
